Israel Iran Ceasefire LIVE: As a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran held on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Politico that Iran is now “significantly further from acquiring a nuclear weapon” following U.S. strikes on its three primary nuclear facilities over the weekend.

President Donald Trump said Israel and Iran both violated a cease-fire early Tuesday hours after it came into effect and urged Israel not to retaliate.

China's Foreign Ministry criticized U.S. strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities as a violation of the United Nations charter and expressed concern over potential spillover effects from the deepening conflict.
